New pedestrian walkway

The planned internal pedestrian walkway would be an alternative to the current Automated People Mover, which connects the pre-security area with ticket counters and baggage claim and the post-security area with departure gates in Terminal B.

Airport officials said the enclosed walkway could add more capacity for passengers as well as enhance accessibility.
